I've seen the runner (wrongly, of course) called out on that play for failing to avoid running into F6.
If I knew the coach was right (or even if I just personally realized I was mistaken), I would indeed change my call. I do not like this rule and much prefer the old ASA (and current NCAA) rule, where in general no OBS is called on a fielder who is drawn into the path of the runner while in the immediate act of fielding a throw. Especially at higher levels, the runner should know to keep coming and slide. But at lower levels and in rec leagues, the runner's instincts are usually to slow down or stop, so I understand the reasoning. In my experience, at the higher levels of men's SP, this rule is virtually never invoked, because the runners do not alter their stride and simply keep coming.
